Description

The status of mechanochemical processing of aerospace metals (aluminum and titanium) is reviewed. It is demonstrated that the activation of chemical reactions by mechanical energy can lead to many interesting applications including production of advanced materials with novel constitutional and microstructural effects leading to enhanced mechanical properties. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TGJ-4DH2GK7-4/1/d168a462a61baa3b8eb96b4e0d07b868
